Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned einverne/dotfiles at c6c0686125.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automatically formats Git commit messages to adhere to a predefined style. It ensures consistency and clarity in project history, making it easier to understand changes over time. The formatter operates before commits are finalized, enforcing the desired structure on the message content.

When to use it

  • Enforcing team standards: When a development team requires specific formatting for commit messages (e.g., prefixes like "feat:", "fix:").
  • Automated changelogs: To generate consistent and structured changelog files from Git history.
  • Improving code review process: Clear, formatted commit messages streamline the code review workflow by providing context upfront.
  • Maintaining project consistency: Ensuring all commits follow a uniform style across a large codebase or multiple contributors.

Key capabilities

  • Automatic commit message formatting
  • Pre-commit hook integration
  • Enforcement of predefined styles and conventions

Example prompts

  • "Format my current Git commit message according to the team's standard."
  • “Apply the configured git commit formatter.”
  • "Ensure all future commits follow the established commit message style guide."

Tips & gotchas

This skill requires a working Git environment and may necessitate configuration adjustments based on existing project workflows. It’s crucial to understand the configured formatting rules to avoid unexpected changes to your commit messages.
